You don’t need any special equipment to catch a Bream in Stardew Valley. Any fishing rod will do. With that said, if you’re just starting, a Bream may struggle a bit after you manage to hook one.

I suggest attaching Bait to your Fishing Rod and applying a fishing tackle to make things simplier.

I caught a Bream with an Iridium Fishing Rod, and it didn’t even move during the fishing mini-game.

Bream can be fished in two different locations in Stardew Valley only after dark (from 6pm to 2am).

  • The River in Cindersap Forest (just below your farm)
  • The River in Pelican Town

  • Go to either location after 6:00 pm (any Saason) and cast your rod. As mentioned above, a Bream won’t give you too much trouble as long as you have a decent Fishing Rod or Bait.
